We should start a human Race Betterment Foundation because that never happened before, or did it?
Anyway lets not go to the horrible places that led us, if we're to have eugenics it should be a volunteer thing, those forced sterilisations and racial supremacist attitudes were not cool. Just make a computer program to match people on IQ, empathy or health if you want it to happen. I agree there's a massive amount of stupid people, but look at history before you look ahead.
